Canon Optics and Business Machines Canada unveiled the NP 400 and 400F in Calgary as Western Canada’s booming office copier market shifts from a backwater to a major sector. Canadian sales manager Rick Billings says the units cost about 12000 dollars, offering features rivaling much pricier models.
